Houses of Ruin | Episode 3

First Presbyterian Church

Obedience is, and has always been, a polarizing subject in the human experience. From governing authorities to parents, from bosses to traffic laws, rulers and their rules are everywhere--and everyone struggles with the temptation to rebel against that which stands over them, enticed by their own desire (James 1:14) instead of ready towards obedience. But Jesus tells us in the Gospel of John that, if we love him, we are to "keep his commandments" (14:15), for the one who "hears and does not do them" is like that man who built his house on sinking sand, and when the waters rose and broke against it, "the ruin of that house was great" (Luke 6:46-49).But what do we do when we come up against this struggle to submit to our Lord? And do these teachings still apply to our governing authorities? Join us today in our study on how to recognize and treat disobedience in oneself and others, and how the gospel breaks through our hearts of stone and calls us to submission and a life surrounded by the joy of serving Christ Jesus our Lord.Be sure to come back every Tuesday for new episodes and Thursday for bonus content, and find us on the following platforms as well:Find us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/oneanotherpodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Find us on YouTube:https://youtube.com/@oneanotherpodcast?si=7-JJ9raR9Fr0cQ9bFind us on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4RGIMhed26LZsl9TI56yPN?si=2924a1be839549b9Find us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-another/id1797190030
